The tall and beautiful buildings crowd the large island off the coast of the Reach. With a gigantic fleet said to rival House Greyjoy and wine that is equally impressive, the Arbor attracts many people from all over Westeros, the Free Cities and beyond.

The Lioness crawled over the waves towards the Arbor and as they neared it a ship from port drew close and called out to state their business. Edmure was quickly roused and readied to talk to the approaching vessel's captain.

Edmure stood on the deck watched the captain on the other ship hail him. "We come bearing passengers and gold for his lordship Redwyne." The other day, while taking stock of the ships cargo, he and some of the men had found a sizable chest. Upon opening one they found it full of gold. Strangely they had a lion on one side and a lord's face on the other. Either the Lannister's have found some left over coins from before the conquest, or Baldwin's having a new coin minted. Edmure had thought at the time.

ooc-I don't mean to stick my nose in, but I do not usually keep a fortune in gold lying in a poorly guarded ship that also happen to be proof of treason against the king. Come ON!!  |

OOC: Who said it was treason? It could just be old pre-conquest coins. And perhaps the coins were being delivered to you.  |

OOC: I made it a much smaller amount.
The vessel is allowed to dock, but the captain of the port guard seeks an audience with Edmure Seaworth.

OOC: I've always imagined the Arbor to be the Italy of Westeros.
IC: Edmure steered the ship into port, finally docking along side several other large cargo vessels filled with casks of Arbor wine. Edmure sniffed the air, enjoying the smell of the sea mixed with the sharp smell of the orchards and vinyards. Gods I love the sea thought Edmure.
He looked around the Majestic, he had renamed it in honor of the number of royals he had transported and safeguarded over the years. The red sail emblazoned with the lion had been taken down and replaced with the black ones Edmure's crew had rescued from the Stranger.
As the gangplank was lowered Edmure grasped Andry by the arm, "wait till I talk to the port captain before coming down, and for gods sake please just this once put on something a little less conspicuous."

The port captain was a burly man that wore the burgundy grapes of House Redwyne. He greeted Edmure formally and questioned his business in the Arbor.

"I have come to deliver passengers to Lord Redwyne and to give him tribute." Edmure kicked the chest of gold at his foot.

The port captain smiled, "Gold is good. If you give me the chest, I'll let you see Lord Redwyne with no questions asked."

Edmure smiled back, "I think I'll take up the chest myself, I hear that the harbor is filled with thieves."

The port captain smiled back even greater, "You can take the chest, or you can see the Lord of the Arbor."

Edmure dropped the smile, his cold, grey eyes looking deep into the captain's. "How 'bout I keep the chest, or Redwyne will hear about how a certain port captain stole from him?" Pulling out a pouch stuffed with a few of the coins he threw it too the man. "how's this for a third option, you keep that pouch, and we forget about the whole thing and I just go up to the castle?"

"I like this fourth option the best. You give me the chest, or I arrest you for attempted bribery."
Smiling, he said, "Savey?"

OOC: Okay, did anyone else get an image of Jack Sparrow there?
IC: Edmure shrugged, "suit yourself, I'll inform Lord Redwyne that you have the gold in your safe keeping once I bring prince Andry up to the castle."

Hope you all are well and happy.
